Let's solve each part of the
Basic Multiplication Worksheet step by step. The goal is to
write a multiplication equation for each group of shapes to find the total number of shapes.
---
🔹 Top Left: Green Circles
- There are
2 rows of circles.
- Each row has
3 circles.
- So, we multiply:
2 × 3 = 6
✔ Answer: `2 × 3 = 6`
---
🔹 Top Right: Red Squares
- There are
3 rows of squares.
- Each row has
3 squares.
- So, we multiply:
3 × 3 = 9
✔ Answer: `3 × 3 = 9`
---
🔹 Bottom Left: Purple Triangles
- There are
3 rows of triangles.
- Each row has
4 triangles.
- So, we multiply:
3 × 4 = 12
✔ Answer: `3 × 4 = 12`
---
🔹 Bottom Right: Blue Stars
- There are
4 columns of stars.
- Each column has
2 stars.
- Alternatively, you can see it as
2 rows of
4 stars each.
- So, we multiply:
2 × 4 = 8
(or 4 × 2 = 8 — both are correct)
✔ Answer: `2 × 4 = 8` (or `4 × 2 = 8`)
---
✔ Final Answers:
| Shape Group | Multiplication Equation |
|------------|------------------------|
| Green Circles | `2 × 3 = 6` |
| Red Squares | `3 × 3 = 9` |
| Purple Triangles | `3 × 4 = 12` |
| Blue Stars | `2 × 4 = 8` |

Tip: Multiplication helps us count groups quickly. We look at how many
groups and how many
items in each group, then multiply.
